Good vs Evil - SCP Ethics Committee Orientation (SCP Animation)

The SCP Foundation Ethics Committee is one of the most powerful groups within the Foundation. They don't have the most powerful and deadly weaponry, or the most advanced technology. They aren't made up of anomalies with incredible superpowers who want to do good like some kind of SCP X-Men or Avengers. No, this group of mostly normal people are plucked from other areas in the SCP Foundation and given one of the most important jobs in the world. They are the conscience of the SCP Foundation. For a group that deals with SCP-173, SCP-682, and SCP-049, as well as world ending SCP-001 entities, this is no small job. And you've just been selected to join.

Oddly enough the most intimidating thing here is that they have access to all redacted information. There are a few SCPs that make that a pretty big deal.

They also have veto power over the 05's, so they are equivalent in power to them if not greater and have the equivalent power in terms of knowledge access to the Administrator which is the highest access available since the administrator has access to literally all information in the foundation.

@@chadmekhane3636 Not exactly, the 05 can technically do that, but if the ethics committee were to find out they literally have counters built to take out the 05 council is they need to, including their own MTF designed specifically to counter the 05's personal MTF. The ethics committee doesn't fuck around and has a lot more power then people think due to what they allow the foundation to do, because when people hear "Ethics committee" they would assume it means a group in the foundation with no power trying to stop the foundation from doing everything they do, thats why the joke "How many Ethics committee members does it take to change a light bulb" comes from.

I think within the SCP universe, the Foundation is neither good or evil, they seem content with the fact that they are simply...necessary.

[@cursedhawkins1305]

That will probably depend on what perspective you're looking at, let's take for example Dr. Dan's case of wanting to terminate 096 because of how dangerous the anomaly is should it break containment and get to a major population center, not only did that happen but it was also an orchestrated containment breach by Dan and his assistant, after a high lose of life including both civilian as well as a toddler and MTF personal due to the gear they were given not being completely effective Dan's request for terminating 096 did get approved but what did the foundation and like the ethics committee have to say about what Dr. Dan did well he was made a D-Class and ordered to find a way to terminate 096 himself which once that was done Dr. Dan himself would also be terminated for his crimes. To say that some examples from the foundation are all "necessary" would be putting all of the evil examples under the rug which is probably what the 05 council want to do which can explain their distain for the ethics committee.

[@Geheimnis-c2e]

They're neither, because swinging too far into either would ultimately defeat the purpose of having the Foundation. The SCP Foundation is around the neutral spectrum (lawful neutral, true neutral, and chaotic neutral) Site - 13 is chaotic evil, so is the Foundation in SCP - 5000

I know the meme is "lol wut Ethics Committee?" but, really? If you actually read most SCP entries, you slowly come to the horrifying realization that the Foundation would be FAR worse without one, and that the Committee is a pretty crucial part of most iterations of the lore. This is evident from the entries which involve the Committee either not existing or being locked out by the O5s. In those case you get shit like 110-Montuak (or at least the original iteration of the thing) and the various attempts by the O5 Council to commit mass murder on everyone in the real world who has viewed or edited the SCP wiki. And no, I don't particularly think that sorta "le creepy 4th Wall breaking horror" present in SCP-5999 is particularly well written, but it still serves as a pretty good example that versions of the lore where the Committee either doesn't exist or is just a joke tend to have a Foundation that is just flat out the villain and not the anti-heroic force it is in most entries.

The Ethics Committee is actually one of the most powerful entity in the SCP Foundation. Not even the Administrator and the members of the O-5 Council are exempt from the decisions of the Ethics Committee. The best example I heard explaining this is to think of the SCP Foundation as a corporation. The O-5 Council are the most senior executives of the corporation, the Administrator is the Board of Directors, and the Ethics Committee is the Legal Department or Human Resource Department. The legal/human resource department are below the level of the executives or director board in terms of overall power and authority, but when an executive or a board member is contemplating doing something that might be illegal or against corporate policy, these departments have the authority to review the proposal and to accept of deny it. Also, when a questionable act is committed (such as committing sexual harassments in the workplace, disclosing confidential information/trade secrets, accepting donations, i.e. bribes), these departments have the authority to investigate the incident and to take disciplinary actions against the party that committed the act.

I have often thought of nearly every job in this whole scp universe there isnt a single one that I would ever be willing to do. death being preferable to most as I have a strong dislike for being startled..not even care for the tickle monster. But this..this would be something I could manage with pride. Harm reduction is nearly my favorite topic.

[@Mr_Fission]

You may be missing the point of the story told here. The ethics committee is not made up of good people who are empowered to make hard choices. It's made up of monsters that are able to restrain themselves. You sound like an altruistic person, and that alone probably makes you unsuitable for the job. Be thankful for that.

[@malm7arb]

At first, I thought that the ethics committee had no power, but when he said that they have as much power and knowledge as the O5, and can veto anything (including O5 decisions), I have to rethink what I said about them. They deserve all respect....... literally. I don't want to end up on their potential ritual sacrifice list....

[@shriihanmukherjee6502]

They are equal to O5, not above. Multiple Ethics Committee members can veto a single O5's decision and vice versa.

The sowing circle is a very good example of a nessisary evil. Like yeah as fucked up as it is, it is also the most logical, ethical action. It doesn't involve civilian infants, and it prevents XK class end of the world situations, so in the world of SCP, it's the "ethical" choice.

Holy shit, you read my mind that i wanted a video for this topic.

[@ChaoticNakka]

That is hella heavy and yet fits so perfectly with the SCP concept.

[@ChickenWilickers]

I was expecting something completely different. The video starts with talking about a shapeshifting anomaly in a remote village. Everyone in his MTF dies in combat against the anomaly. The only survivor of the shapeshifting anomaly, decides to nuke every human in the village. The SCP conveniently find the "remains" of the anomaly. I figured the MTF soldier was the shapeshifting anomaly and I'm kind of confused why the SCP didn't quarantine him immediately regardless. Then I figured they were using the orientation/promotion to lull the entity into a false sense of security and avoid it escaping into the rest of the staff- better to sequester it in a confined room and kill everything inside that room. I figured the woman was a d-class just reading off a script, but she would be killed with the anomaly. Colour me surprised.

[@bigman6251]

1) either they did kill it or scp 001 EX dumped someone in taco meat and have them run 3 laps around a baseball field filled with orangutans 2) I DONT KNOW NANI?! 3)they were voted in via the EU and other nations if i remember correctly. 4) i think its normal with each nation appointing one person per but i dont know who leads it 5) no clue

[@excalibur5118]

Calvin Lucien isn't in this canon

[@VvV-fm5ty]

5) The role of The administrator is a gray area in terms of where it belongs. T.A has 05 clearance, but is not counted as an 05 but neither is seen as a member of the ethics commitee

[@twiceremoved7339]

The sole purpose of every Ethics Committee in every organization that has ever existed is to state that the actions taken by the organization they work for are completely justified. Any and every instance of "unethical behavior" that anyone in the public or even the organization itself catches wind of is nothing more than disposal of an asset that stepped on the wrong toes. Furthermore, no organization even has an Ethics Committee unless that organization is already deliberately doing unethical things. You can pretty much have the same level of confidence in "fact checkers." To even consider that an organization like the SCP Foundation has a code of ethics they follow is laughable.

[@YETEMAN2]
